absolute BS. should have been a tech. Willard just laughed it off and smiled and pointed at TSJ

 

[UCantHideYer]

Ghost call

 

[Zorak]

We should be winning this game by 10+

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Courtney now calling touch fouls on us, allowing mugging on the opposite end

 

[SuperMetroid]

Young getting the Jordan treatment

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Hey Brad. Don’t be afraid to bail your guy out with a timeout. Jesus.

 

[abchew2]

Just keep fighting

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Another head shot. Good lord

 

[Champaign88]

Dear Brad, you are allowed to use your first half time out before the last possession of the half. Maybe calling a time out for MD to get out of jail would be a good idea.

 

[Zorak]

I don't think there's anyone in the conference I hate more than this Maryland team

 

[abchew2]

And hopefully no big injuries. Could see this get out of hand in the 2nd half

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

not a fan of willard or this team. let's destroy them. bush league move

they're hitting us a bunch

 

[madillini4]

We’re gonna need to score 80+ every game to win the rest of the year I guess.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Ty has to let that go.

 

[Champaign88]

Come on Ty, use your head.

Love seeing TJ knock down these FTs while the rat piss Maryland student section chats their classless verbiage.

 

[Chillinini]

Never knew how a ref can walk and run on the court with a blindfold on without hitting someone or falling down. Always been impressed by those skills of the B1G refs. Very impressive.

 

[McGuppin]

Solid first half by our Illini against 2 really tough teams....Maryland and the Big Ten zebras.

 

[blife]

I need to see a clock on that 10 second call against us earlier

 

[BBlock24]

I’ll take a 5 point lead.

 

[abchew2]

Finally got some stops that gave a bit of separation. This is ours to lose.

 

[fatboyslim]

Interior defense was much better once we started doubling Young. Need to continue in the second half.

 

[Rainier Wolfcastle]

The last 4 or so minutes have been better on offense with taking the ball to the hoop. I’m glad they aren’t settling for as many threes.

Keep attacking the rim and forcing the issue inside.
